Cleaning our equipment like A/Cs has me thinking that perhaps we need to be cleaning our bodies more thoroughly, so I started to make a list of body parts that I might clean:
- the teeth (of course!) – I haven’t done one of those in while;
- the mouth (… I’ve seen the Japanese do strange things with tongue scrapers…)…;
- the hands and nails… an obvious one since I can’t stand dirty hands or filthy finger nails;
- feet, especially the skin between the toes which in tropical countries can become infected easily;
- the blood … how would you clean that?
- the colon … a colon cleanse might help there, but is it really necessary? Many people recommend it…
- the hair … dandruff, lice, you name it…
- the ears … might be good to do this, I typically use cotton buds for that as I get an occasional ear infection if I don’t…
Once I started making this list, I was surprised at how long it could get. Let’s hope that the body is as capable of restoring itself as Dr. Andrew Weil might claim.
